I'm sorry to do this to you.
Especially the first week of the New Year
when so many people have resolved to eat better.
These are going to make you jump right off
any diet bandwagon that you have climbed on.
Believe me! I know...I was there.
This week we have been doing great at our healthy eating,
drinking lots of water, and exercising...
then I went and made these.
And that was even fine because they were going
with my son to his Bible study group.
Only a few got left behind for me to take pictures of.
Then I took a bite out of one (for testing purposes:-)
and all my good resolve melted away
with that delicious cookie!
Peanut butter is a weakness of mine.
I should have known this would end badly for me.
I knew I HAD to get the rest out as quickly as possible.
My jeans were counting on me to be strong.
Resist the cookies I must!!!
Good thing we pack lunches each day.
The cookies were safely tucked into lunch bags
and hidden away from the peanut butter crazed lady!
But lucky for me...there was one left to enjoy the next day...
along with a few spoonfuls of yummy frosting.
Don't judge me:-)
You would have done it too if the extra frosting was on your counter.
Go ahead and make these.
I double dog dare you:-)

Can you make them smaller so I can get 48 cookies instead of 24. I want to bake these for a party which will have about 50 people do I cut the cooking time in half thank you
Jocelyn
You sure can. I would recommend using a cookie scoop to form 48 balls, then cut each of those in half and roll into the ball. As for baking time, it will definitely be shorter...probably around 6-7 minutes. I'm not quite sure since I haven't baked them that small before. I hope that helps and you enjoy the cookies.

@Sam. I am so sorry they didn't turn out!!! How sticky was your dough? It should have been really thick and easy to roll into a ball. And over baking them would make the cookie crispy:-(
Sam
I made these today and the cookie part was really doughy I even cooked it longer. I don't know what I did. But really wished these had came out:(
Carrie
I liked you before... but I love you even more now. These are the best sounding/looking whoopie pies on the planet. Seriously!

Those look great!! I have been on a bit of a whoopie pie planning craze. I have crazy whoopie pie notes all over the place. Who knows if I will ever make half of them!
But THESE definitely need to get made!
